 3rd MAJOR REASONS FOR POLLUTION IN YAMUNA

• About 45% of the area having population about 40-50 lacs is un-sewered.
• Sewage of the area is being released into the open storm water ditches /
drains, which finally find its way into river Yamuna.

5th MAJOR REASONS FOR POLLUTION IN YAMUNA

1. 45% Delhi is unsewered

2. Industrial effluent outfalls into drains
3. Dumping of solids in drains & River
4. U/A slaughtering/Dhobi Ghat and
industries in residential areas
5. U/A slums in the bed of River

 3 Action Plan For Individual Drains

• INTERCEPTOR SEWER for Khyber Pass,

sweeper Colony & Magazine Road drain
has been made functional.
• The discharge intercepted from these
drains shall be pumped to Nigam Bodh
SPS and ultimately will be taken to existing
Okhla STP having treatment capacity of
170 MGD.

• METCALF HOUSE has been intercepted

into Bela Road Trunk sewer.

• QUDESIA DRAIN has been diverted and

TONGA STAND DRAINS shall be trapped
into Bela Road Trunk Sewer.
 3 Action Plan For Individual Drains

• After rehabilitation of Subhash marg

peripheral sewer & Ring Road trunk
sewer, sewage in CIVIL MILL DRAIN
near Shanti Van has been reduced.
However, remaining sewage has been
trapped into Ring Road trunk sewer.

• The capacity of STP AT THE MOUTH

OF DELHI GATE DRAIN HAS BEEN
AUGMENTED from existing 2.2 to 17.2
MGD by constructing addition 15 MGD
STP.
 3 ACTION PLAN FOR INDIVIDUAL DRAINS

• The STP of 2.2 MGD at the mouth of Dr

Sen Nursing Home drain was
established under YAP-I.

• The surplus sewage has been trapped

into Ring Road trunk sewer near WHO,
Ring Road. The discharge can be
regulated in this trapping according to
quantity of sewage.

• Drain No. 12 a is being trapped into

Ring Road Trunk sewer.
3 Action Plan For Individual Drains
(Barapula Drain)

Carries 30 to 40 MGD sewage

Action Plan:
• Short Term: 6 to 8 MGD sewage has been
trapped into Andrews Ganj SPS & 10 mgd
at Maharani Bagh which are going to
existing Okhla STP.

• Medium Term: All the defective sewer

lines in the catchment of Barapulla drain
are being repaired. Around 15 to 20 MGD
sewage shall be diverted to the regular BARAPULA DRAIN
sewerage system.

• Long Term: All the unsewered areas in the

catchment of Barapulla drain and its
tributaries shall be provided with
sewerage system.
4 Dredging of major drains and 22 Km stretch of Yamuna bed
5 Laying of sewerage system in unsewered areas.

The SEWERAGE MASTER PLAN 2031 has been finalized for unsewered
areas of Delhi. The salient features are:

1. The Plan is for horizon year 2031 and to be implemented in four

phases

2. Total length of sewer line to be laid : 9800 Km

3. Nos. of decentralized Sewage Treatment Plants : 75

4. Total Capacity of the STPs : 375 mgd

5. Cost of projects under SMP-2031 if implemented by 2027:
Rs.19500 Cr .($ 2879 MILLION)

 Immediate action for Bio remediation & development of
8 public space along all three major drains
• CLEANING THE RIVER
Sahibi and Najafgarh Nalla
through biological system of
a) on channel floating
wetlands b) wetland parks
along and around it
• RECONECTING PEOPLE
AND PLACES through
alternative movement system
– with non polluting NMV,
Cycle tracks and pedestrian
pathways
• URBAN WASTE
MANAGEMENT – Reducing
and cleaning urban solid
waste that feeds into river
Sahibi and Najafgarh Nalla
from the adjoining
neighbourhoods.

 TERTIARY SEWAGE TREATMENT
FLOATING ISLANDS

Floating islands are buoyant mats, planted like

a garden and launched onto a waterway. They
are made from a matrix of fibers which look like
a pot-scrub or loofah.

ADVANTAGES

1. They remove pollutants from a waterway,

including nitrates, phosphates, ammonia and
heavy metals
2. They provide critical riparian edge habitat -
in fact, new land mass for use by all kinds of
creatures, from microbes to humans
3. They sequester carbon and other
greenhouse gases
4. They provide wave mitigation and erosion
control
5. They beautify a waterscape
 SLOPE STABILIZATION TO PREVENT SILTATION

Geo – grid method for soil stabilization of the existing nallah

slopes

Planting the slopes with grasses and other plant material prevents erosion on shallow slopes.
